Still getting my feet wet on the whole car mod thing.....done a little bit performancewise, but never had the urge to do anything stylewise...until now. I got a little bit of unexpected mad mad money and fell in love with the prova replica hood. So here I am, thinking about getting the hood and I have no idea what to do. Help!

1. Any suggestions on a shop I can trust for paint and install of a prova replica onto my silver WRX. Anywhere in the LA-SD area (anywhere in between is fine --- I'd rather drive and have it done right than have it done wrong near me). I did a search and only found two names, but perhaps my search skills are not as good as they should be.

2. This is the big one. I've never done anything like this before. How do you transport a hood? Uhaul? Have it shipped directly to the shop from GG?

3. How much should I expect to pay in labor (again, paint and install)? I don't mind paying for quality, but I don't wanna get ripped, obviously....

4. Is there anything else I should know?

Thanks in advance for anything you can offer.

 

thx for the suggestion.

I don't have the hood yet...you can see the one I'm eyeing at www.gimmiegears.com. It's the provo racing replica shown under "composites".
